Examples of Nursing Home Injuries

Bed Sores/Decubitus Ulcers: Some bedsores, also called decubitus ulcers, are caused by a lack of blood flow to an area of the skin from prolonged pressure to one area on the body. Normally because people are moving often these sores don't happen, but in nursing homes people are not always able to reposition themselves in order to avoid getting these types of sores. Our loved ones rely on their caretakers to help them move to avoid these sores that can lead to infections sometimes unfortunately resulting in death. If your loved one has acquired a staph or another infection while in the care of a nursing home, it's important to contact an attorney to protect your rights.

Nursing Home Acquired Illness: nursing homes are required to be kept cleanly. When they are understaffed or poorly managed it is easy to see how an illness can spread amongst its residents. Shared living space must be kept sanitized to prevent life threatening diseases from infecting your loved ones.
